    Storm Surge? This is the big fear for those in hurricane-land. A hurricane
    moves in a counter clockwise motion and it is a terribly strong motion with
    a category 4 hurricane! The areas to the east (3 o'clock) side of the eye
    are going to get the worst of the storm and the water is pushed to shore on
    that side. The water on the west (9 o'clock) side is then sucked OUT or away
    from land. In a serious case, the water on the east side can show up as a
    huge wall of water. The water is more of a problem in a hurricane than the
    wind. In Pensacola, it was the wall of water that washed out the I-10 bridge
     not the wind. It is the flooding that destroys marinas not wind.
